SF Straw Poll Cancelled: Ron Paul Supporter Speaks

A GOP organization in San Francisco (not the official SFGOP) openly invited local Republicans to attend a Straw Poll with the intention of releasing the results to the media. The audience was forced to listen to a speaker endorsing Fred Thompson for about an hour or more. After a huge number of Ron Paul supporters who paid admission to the Straw Poll walked in to vote, the Straw Poll was abruptly cancelled. Various weak excuses were given by the organizer at the time and later on, such as saying the next day some of the people who showed up to vote were people "I didn't even know" even though she had accepted their admission fee prior to their entrance, and had forced them to wait more than an hour or two in the lobby outside of the event in order for them to cast their vote.

Ron Paul in Florida: 03%

Gee, I thought by your raiding of straw polls, your flooding of text message polls, etc., meant that Ron Paul was backed by the most Republicans? I mean, what about all those debates he 'won?'

2000 Florida was not a digital calculation. 2004 Ohio was.

I encourage everyone to refuse voting on one of those machines. I want authentic results and its too easy to manipulate a digital calcualtion (i.e. 2000 florida)

thats the real reason for the republic, electorates will not vote for Ron Paul and they determine who the president will be not the voters, electorals are appointed, I really want to see Ron Paul as President

That's American democracy today..... uhhh, too many voters showed up.... so we're uhhhh, calling off the vote.

Of course they don't need to pull this shit in the big primaries, they just let the diebold machines do the voting and leave the people out of it all together.

these Fred supporters are a disgrace to the USA and i am extremely ashamed of those elderly people in there acting like fascist pigs.

[noragirl123]

This is proof that the revolution is taking root. Who are all these new people that care about voting so much?

We are The People, and we approve Ron Paul's message.
